Haunting Ground

Looney Toons

The Addams Family (1992)

Goddamn, I had no memory of the nerdy one, and I just looked up the show.

And of course H-B stuff is ugly. It relies on everything except the animation and artwork to hold it up.

Looney Tunes: My entire life, I thought it was Loony Toons. Is this some weird Mandela Effect? No, I'm looking it up, and Tiny Toons used the "toon" name, goddamn. Anyway, let's be real here. No one out there is like "man I love Looney Tunes, can't get enough of it," but the characters nevertheless serve as the bedrock of basically all animation. No one likes Mickey Mouse, no one in the entire universe cares about him outside of Kingdom Hearts memes. Bugs and Daffy have personality, even if they don't quite click today the way they did in the 60s or whatever. Like, no one can tell me that Disney's core cast even remotely compares to Looney Tunes'.

Haunting Ground: I consider this to be the Platonic ideal of early-to-mid 2000s horror games. Resident Evil isn't scary at all, Silent Hill is got bad after three games, and Eternal Darkness is too weird. This is the perfect representation of the genre at that time. The main character has pretty much the perfect horror leading girl design, too.

Berserk: I've never read Berserk, but I know the story vaguely. It's incredible how detailed the artwork is, no wonder it got like one new chapter per two years, no wonder the author died long before it finished.

Dilbert 2 and 3: Hideous, but purposeful. Didn't expect the hot lady to turn into ET. Anyway, the guy who writes Dilbert is crazy. It's funny how Dilbert's ennui from spending all day in an cubicle was super relatable in the 90s, but not really anymore. This perfectly captures the pointlessness of what a lot of modern work feels like, in any case.

The Addams Family (1992): Superior to the original in design, which isn't difficult, since the concept is inherently wacky, and cartoons do wackiness better than live action ever can. You know, I just realized the main cast lacks a werewolf character. And Gomez is WOAH WAIT A SECOND I did not remember Wednesday and her brother being that short. They look like ten-year-olds, but they're the size of five-year-olds, am I just now noticing this? No, it's that the art is super inconsistent, okay.

Saga: The art is fine, but whenever I think of this series, all I think of is that my local Barnes and Noble for YEARS had Saga on full display, so every time I went there, I walked by the first comic's cover. Anyway, I'm not really into settings that are just everything at once, you know? Like combining fantasy and sci-fi and whatever else. I prefer my genre fiction a little more focused, I guess? So, when I see a satyr and a spaceship at once, I'm like ehhhhhhh, I'm sure it's good if you enjoy that sort of thing, but I usually like things divided into categories a little more.

Looney Tunes: My entire life, I thought it was Loony Toons. Is this some weird Mandela Effect?

The mandela effect works because it would have been plausible for it to have been "Toons", but that was simply never the case. It's always been Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, much like Disney's Silly Symphonies, and it was named that way because it was meant to showcase their music library. Yeah I know, go figure.

Resident Evil (Remake): This is the only game in the series that is even remotely scary, and its scariness is reliant on two things: the fact that the characters react like this is a fantastic situation (compare Jill freaking out at one zombie to Claire in RE:Rev 2, where she is completely unafraid the entire game, and shows more concern about guys with normal guns than the monsters) and the sound design. I have no idea who did that zombie gurgling noise, these are 11/10 zombie noises, they'll never be beaten. Everyone dresses like sort of real world cops, except Wesker's sunglasses at night, which is fine, and the mansion's Edwardian aesthetics, though completely insane and nonsensical, lend real atmosphere. This series has always been based on the idea of normal humans with normal weapons fighting fantastic science monsters, and the remake doesn't do it the best (RE4 does), but it's almost the best. Basically, this is the perfect horror setting.

The designs are great.

Tom & Jerry: I'm going to assume we mean the designs they settled on, and not the originals. They're fine designs, really, nothing more to say about it. Again, I know it was groundbreaking when it came out, but like with Loony Tunes, I think cartoon humor has progressed beyond this point? One thing I want to mention is those late 2000s/early 2010s crossovers where Tom & Jerry were in famous movies, and the Willy Wonka one, where the writers just forgot to include the scene where people sign a contract, so later Wonka pulls out the contract triumphantly and talks about it, and if you're a kid who hasn't seen the original, you'd be like what. I also enjoy how Multiversus made them and Bugs Bunny part of the mage class, since wacky cartoon physics can't be rationalized any other way. But yeah, like, no one out there is like "Tom & Jerry is my favorite thing ever."

Everyone else is clearly a humanoid cat, which is fine, but she looks basically exactly like a human, except with a cat nose. I'm just saying.

How do you make money doing that? It feels like you're either going to end up working fast food or drawing fetish porn on Deviantart for your patreon. Anyway yeah classic anime eyes that are too big.

All of the programs and designs of everything are super creative and interesting, the Lightcycle is super cool, just everything looks awesome. But the movie itself is ass.

Resident Evil 4: I love RE4 and all, it's in my top five games of all time, and it's easily the best RE, but its visual design is only pretty good. I like the Las Plagas, of course, and while the ugliness of rural Spain fits perfectly for what the game needs, it lacks the visceral grossness of some of the other games. The only really standout part to me is the underground laboratory/prison section.

Marvel's Spider-Man (Insomniac): I know they wanted this game to be the definitive Spiderman game, and to that end, it's a rousing success. It covers all of Spiderman's bases, really. New York is beautiful and sprawling, and the graphics are all really solid... It's good. Nothing more to be said, really.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I'm just going to assume you meant this one, because it's the only one anyone cares about. I've never actually watched this show? I know vaguely about bronies. Just looking at it, I get a sense of what all of the main characters' personalities are like, so that's good. They have basic character design down to a science, so I appreciate that.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island: I like how they tried to update the designs and animation, even if I dislike Fred's new clothing. Really, the issue with this is that there is no possible progression after it. You have a group of characters who specialize in seeing through illusions, so the obvious progression is that they finally find real monsters. But then what? The series never really had an answer.

The Scooby Doo gang already encountered real monsters before Zombie Island, most noticeably the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo (though that's a different continuity)

Actually they did make a follow up Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost before throwing continuity out the window again.

Nominate Be Cool, Scooby-Doo.

Avatar (James Cameron): I assume you meant the 2009 one, right? Avatar never looked that good. I mean, it looks good, yes, but the world never looked realistic at all. People were like "oh, it's like I'm really there," and I was like, "this looks like a video game." And yeah, everyone says this, but it's true -- Avatar is the movie with the most box office success relative to its nonexistent presence in pop culture. People make jokes about blue aliens, and that's it.

Resident Evil (1996): I don't want to go into too great of detail, because I plan to do another of these topics about Resident Evil. Suffice it to say, there's such a thing as being too ahead of your time, and this is an example of that. RE1 is not scary at all, and it's not just because of the voice acting or a lack of imagination, it's because the graphics of this era were just not capable of being scary, I'm sorry.

Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!: I remember this one, I watched a bit of it. When it came out, people would only compare it to Family Guy, and for good reason. There's an episode of Family Guy with a cutaway joke to Scooby-Doo, where the characters look almost exactly like this show. To be honest, making Daphne insane was a good all. Daphne's always been the most boring characcter on the show, she's always just been "the girl" with a different interest every appearance. Everyone else is fairly consistent, but sometimes Daphne is a martial artist, sometimes she's a journalist, she can be anything at any time. Making her be wacky and nutso WAS something new, and the humor wasn't really that bad. I liked the cutaway sequences where Velma explained how the criminals did it. Oh, the art? It sucks.

Where's Waldo: As a kid, my dad refused to get his hair cut by anyone except this one woman he knew, who lived aross town. He still gets his hair cut by her exclusively even thirty years later, but the point is that I had to drive with him an hour each way and sit in the building for two hours or something while they cut and talked, and since this was before cell phones, the only entertainment I had was that she had some Where's Waldo and Goofus and Gallant books. So, in short, Where's Waldo is burned into my mind. I wasn't always able to find his friends, like the dog or the evil Waldo.

Mega Man X: I feel like I sort of have to put MM and MMX together. MMX definitely has better robot masters and a better version of Proto Man, but MM's design is much better than X's. Besides, MM also has a special place in my nostalgic heart for the early 2000s webcomic Bob and George, which I read before ever touching a MM game.
Mega Man (Original): I will gladly grant that MM7 is not very good, but it's definitely the best-looking classic MM game. I know the sprite is too big for the screen, but it's got the detail and face just right, whereas like MM8 is ugly and the NES ones are a little too primitive. A lot of robot masters are lame, but they're the kind of classic, good, 80s/90s type of lame, so it's fine. MM has maybe the strongest music of any game series, by the way.

Legend of Mana: Another classic PS1 sprite game. There's something to PS1-era sprite games, because they're in the era of when 3D was hot and new and everyone wanted to do it, so you knew that any sprite-based game was trying to do something artistic. That said, I think that a lot of sprite talent just evaporated in the late 90s, because after some point, all of the AAA sprite games just became bad? They sort of recovered, but even now, sprites in AAA really only exist for beat-em-ups and certain fighting games. I wonder what a true attempt at going maximum high-quality spritework in the modern era would look like? Like, not SNES-looking games, but an actual attempt at something that takes advantage of modern technology.

Beowulf (2007): I actually read Beowulf as a kid. I remember going into this movie expecting to see an actual retelling of the story, only for it to be another "real story behind the story" thing. The absolute only thing I remember is Beowulf having sex with Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother, and Hrothgar saying Grendel was probably "a water demon."

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within: I remember very specifically in middle school, my friend Travis said that a lot of people couldn't tell this was CGI, and that it was so realistic that it fooled millions of people into thinking the characters were actors. And I remember thinking "god, Travis, you're such an idiot." Like, let's set aside any questions of whether or not this is Final Fantasy-esque. I already said that I prefer my fantasy and my sci-fi to be separate. Spirits Within is a very bland sci-fi future mixed with space ghosts. That's about it. It's impressive as a technical achievement and as a monument to man's hubris, but that's about it.

And with that, thank you, everyone, for getting this topic to 500. The mystery second S-tier would have been The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which isn't a very good show, but I love how silly the puppets are, especially the skeksis.

My instinct was right, it WAS puppets

Excellent topic!

Good topic.

great topic, weird fuckin pick for S-tier there

Fun topic (even if I totally disagree with a lot of it!). You've inspired me to put my own spin on this concept eventually, so thanks for that! :D

Would love to see a video game character tiering next.
